An outstanding archaeological museum and the magnificent excavations at Knossos will certainly testify to that fact.However, modern-day Heraklio has a much wider range of attractions to offer than “just ruins.” The Heraklio market is the richest of its kind on Crete, and among the most varied of any in the Mediterranean region.
